In the cities and in the large manufac-
turing villages great numbers of laborers
of both sexes-more han half of them
young women-are gathered together.
Many of them come from the country; the
growth OF the cities at the expense of the
country consists largely in the removal of
the young men and women from the farm
to the cities and the factory towns, where
they find employment in the mills and
the shops. Here they are thrown together
rather rudely in their work; the boarding
houses, where most of them spend their
nights and their Sundays, afford them
uOne of the restraints of a home; their
evenings are wont to fin them on the
street and in cheap places of amusement.
The wage of these operatives, especially
of the females, are as a general rule very
small. In a table showing the wages
paid in forty-four different mills in Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island / find that the
average wage paid to women was 500
per week, and TO female children IS. Al. 1
uut sure hat the average weekly earnings
al females over 10 years of q in our fac
tories, box shops, button shops, brass
works and so forth would be less than So.
out Of this those who do mo- live at home
must pay for board and room, washing
and clothing. What u pinchIng life this
must be can be easily imagined. In the
Hhine where these girls are
IElOyel are numbers of young men of
choir own social grade and grades a little
higher, to whom marriage and the pos
session Of II home seem, Ia the present
state of society, a distant and not always
II desirable prospect.
such are the cOnditions-the herding
together Of operatives, male and female,
In places remote from their homes, with
low wages and strong temptations. The
moral fruits of such an exposure are not
likely TO promote the founding OF perma-
nent families; the character and habits
developed In such environment are not
the best outfit for happy wedlock. An
other feature OF the life we are consider
ing is its lack of ~permRnence. Owing to
strikes, failures, changes of business,
operatives are continually fitting from
one place to another. Such instability OF
life discourages,t the forming of families,
and often results in scattering those that
are formed Lam convinced that it is to
the Industrial conditions which l have
now in an adequate way outlined that
much of the neglect and deterioration of
family life is due. There are manufac-
turing communities in which these evils
have been largely overcome, through the
Intelligence and good will of the employ
crs of labor. They may be overcome
everywhere. Work aud Wages,

ROOF GARDEN IN NEW voek.

One Woman Prefers to Stay In Town and
Enjoy the Luxuries of Her Own Home.
There is a woman who ranks among
the half dozen richest of her sex in New
York, good looking, liked by society men
and woman alike measurably young
not very far ON either side of the bound
airy line of 80, that is-who puzzles in
summer everybody who knows her. She
never goes out of town. She has a cottage
at Newport, but has not opened it in five
years; she has a house at Lenox, but
visits it only in the early spring, when
the first flowers are peeping from under
the snowdrifts, or in the late autumn,
when the leaves are turning. She is a
widow, but it has never been supposed
that the vestiges of a grief which does not
keep her from dancing in winter would
shut her up within brick walls in July.
What keeps you here In this weather.
a reporter asked her, as the sun beat
against the closed blinds two or three
mornings ago.
II stay simply because 1 like it, she
replied. New York is summer resort
enough for me. Everybody passes through
the city from east, west, north or south
on their way somewhere in course of the
summer, and I meet more friends than /
could in any other way. l nave a fancy
for being comfortable, too, and summer
is no time to try to be comfortable in the
country. When it is hot there, of al!
times, one wants the conveniences OF
ones own home"

something green2"

At mention of a garden the writer's
eyes opened wide. for the house, like
many another in the city, covers every
inch of ground belonging to it that the
building laws allow. But my hostess led
the way, not out, but up. Her garden
was on the roof, and an elevator logged
lazily skyward with us. A roof garden
is a New York whimsy, and this roof
was most elaborate. A light rail inclosed
the elevated promenade, and this was
completely hidden from view by the rank
growth of scarlet bean, nasturtiums, morn
ing glories and other climbers that ran
over it. Pots of palms, tree ferns and
every known plant that will stand the
fervors of a New York roof summer

you see, l am monarch of all 1 sur

over a torrid city. 'It's not a midday
resort exactly, but in the morning or at
twilight not the Catskills themselves have
a better breeze. And then you know"-
and the matter assumed an aspect not

The Berlin police authorities have long
had a sharp eye on the widely advertised
patent medicines, many of which have
been officially analysed and found to be
both ineficacious and excessively dear.
In 1888 fifteen of these were publicly de.
~nounced; in 1884, twenty-three, and In
1885 thirty more. Against s~ixty-one of
the ~compounders of these benefactions of
mankind complaints were entered, and
ten received public warning. Inasmuch,
however, as, according 10 an old adage,
fools never die out, the project of police
has recently forbidden the advertising as
well as the sale of all patent medicines,

now remains to be seen If this will teach

His Funniest Experience.

The funniest thing l ever ran across
in the ten years l have held this position
happened the other day." said my friend,
the ticket agent. "a young man came to
the window and bought a ten ride family
suburban ticket. After paying for
it he asked me to punch out seven
rides. didn't exactly understand what
he wanted, and told him h conductor
would attend to that all right enough.
He then explained to me that his wife
had given him n ticket that morning con-
tanning four rides; he had used one
coming in and lost the ticket during the
day, and rather han admit having lost
1T he bought the new ticket and had the
same number of rides punched out -
